Jason has finished putting a fantastic project page together for our Print After Parties!

You should really read what he wrote. Jason is much more articulate than I:

“The Print After Parties are a series of unauthorized notional raves thrown in the abandoned distribution infrastructure of crumbling print institutions. (They’re pretend parties, not real ones.)

While dead tree publishers loudly lament the fate of their aging information delivery system in the wake of the internet, enterprising trailblazers have found cheaper, faster ways to successfully meet public demand for celebrity gossip and sex scandals without razing forests, filling dumps, or obsessing over boring foreign affairs.

Abandoned by floundering media conglomerates, thousands of neglected newsracks command valuable real estate on busy street corners across New York City, remnants of diminishing demand and a disintegrating economy. Many have already been reclaimed and transformed by urban alchemists, whether as canvases for stickers and paint or clever conceptual works that turn the once important vessels of information into repositories for garbage.

The Print After Parties continue this line of collaboration with blinking LEDs, disco balls, cut-out silhouettes, and handheld radios. When the last vestiges of a collapsed empire litter the landscape, there’s only one thing to do: throw a bumpin’ party and dance on the ruins.”

You also need to check out the incredible video Jason put together!

Disco Ball!

Jason tells me the official name for these sort of flyerboxes is “newsracks”.

LOVE that first flick. Movement and High Heels.

See the radio in the second flick? All our afterpartys were complete with music- of course.

SO TIRED. Time for bed.

Woot!

Print is dying!

Resources are dwindling!

People got this change all backwards. This is not the time to be sad and cling at the fading old ways- as some are- even as they pull us down like an anchor…

Now is the time to move on- but before we do- let us celebrate all that was great and glorious about print!

This isn’t a sad and mournful funeral; this is an exuberant Irish wake!

These works are a collabo conceived and created with the fabulous Jason Eppink and installed around NYC.

There are 5 is total, and this week, you will see them all!

…now we just need a “car after-party”…

P.S. Listen to dance music while you look at these flicks. Seriously.
